Products Update

Cyanview provides 2 types of updates: Application updates and System Updates.

• The Application update is quick and upgrade the main software:
  • Needs internet connectivity
  • Quick, a couple of minutes
  • Keeps your config (when possible, no conflicts)
  • Only upgrade the application, some features will require a system update
• The System update is a full system update
  • Can be applied offline
  • Slow, around 15 minutes
  • Back to factory settings (config can be backup/restored, but optional)
  • Upgrade the application and the OS running it, improve stability and ensure your device has all the features enabled.

The rule of thumb is to:

• If you're in production and everything is working, don't do anything
• If you want to test a new feature or try a bugfix, do an Application update
• Always prefer the System update if you have time and there is no rush as you will have new features, new bugfix and improve the stability and lifetime of your device.

Pay attention that CI0 cannot be updated "manually", it is automatically updated alongside the software updates.

Backup your configuration

It is always a good idea to do a backup of your setup following this guide. It will allows you to get back your configuration later if needed.

Pay attention that this snapshot is linked to the software version. There is no garantee that it will work with another version. If you do a snapshot on 20.11.3, it may or may not work with lower or higher version. If the configuration is not compatible, you will just start from a fresh one and you will need to add everything manually.
